The Five Angriest Fan Bases In College Football

Why you mad, bruh?

5. Mississippi State

It never fails. Anytime I say anything about Ole Miss, even if it's only the faintest compliment, Mississippi State fans will yell at me for it. They'll tell me how Ole Miss cheats and that the NCAA is going to sanction it back to the stone age one of these days -- all the typical things rivals say about one another.

But while an Auburn fan will pop in with a joke about Alabama when I say something nice about the Tide, Mississippi State fans actually seem to take compliments of Ole Miss as insults to Mississippi State. There's a chip on their shoulders that they wear with easily wounded pride.

And I get it. Last summer, in a different Friday Five, I included Mississippi State as one of the five most disrespected programs in the country. The Bulldogs are typically an afterthought in the SEC West and sometimes within their own state.

I mean, at a time when Dan Mullen has introduced a consistent level of success, something they just aren't used to in Starkville, Ole Miss is having even more success, going to a Peach Bowl and Sugar Bowl the last two seasons.

So, I get it, Mississippi State fans, but maybe lighten up a little bit?

1. Texas A&M

They may not take it this way, but I mean this as a compliment: Texas A&M fans are just a comically strange, wonderfully weird group of people. They get angry over some of the silliest things, can tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and more that you didn't) about trademark law (the byproduct of supporting a school that sues everybody), and they can do it in a way which makes you wonder if they're truly mad at you.

Don't get me wrong, they very much are mad, but the one thing that stands out to me about most of the Mad Aggies I deal with is the lack of name-calling. They don't cuss you out much, but they seem like the type to passive-aggressively insult you to your face with a giant smile on their face as another Mad Aggie slowly creeps up on you from behind with a hunting knife.

Oh, and they hate Texas. Every school in Texas hates the Longhorns, as does every Big 12 school, but Texas A&M hates Texas a lot more than you do. So, like Mississippi State fans when it comes to Ole Miss, if you say something nice about the Longhorns in the presence of an Aggie, you're going to hear about it.

Then without fail, at some point in the conversation, they will tell you that the Longhorns are obsessed with the Aggies, while A&M doesn't give a damn about Texas. The fact they've spent the last 20 minutes talking crap about Texas while telling you they don't care about Texas will not register, even if you bring it up. They'll just say you brought it up, not them; they don't care about Texas after all.
